Joe the Plumber: Start Shootin' People Crossing the Border, and Vote for Lori Klein

A man who calls himself a plumber told people attending a fundraiser for state Senator Lori Klein that he's got the solution for the country's immigration issues, and he's been saying it for years: "Put a damn fence on the border going to Mexico and start shootin'."

That self-proclaimed plumber is Joe "the plumber" Wurzelbacher, of course, and that moment can be found at the 28:18 mark in the video above, captured by prescottenews.com (their recap can be found here).

"You know, for years, I've said, you know, 'Put a damn fence on the...border going to Mexico and start shootin','" he said. "I'm running for Congress, and that should be a bad thing to say. You know what, that's how I feel. I'm not going to hide it because I'm running for an office. I want my borders protected. I'm very, very, uh, uh, adamant about it."

Wurzelbacher's statement came amid a thought about how some Republicans currently in office hold back on saying what they mean for the fear that it shows up on the news.

Here's a tip for Wurzelbacher -- just about anyone who advocates for shooting a lot of people is going to end up on the news.
